Copper(II) acetate is used in biochemical applications such as DNA extraction. It is used as a source of copper in inorganic synthesis, an oxidizing agent and as a catalyst in organic synthesis. It is also used to couple two terminal alkynes to make a 1,3-diyne. It is widely used in pigments, manufacture of paris green, in textile dyeing, skin conditioner in cosmetics, and as antioxidant and stabilizer in food grade polymers.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
